Apprentices

I did a similar thing that you want to do. Only difference I done it for free. Only way I could get a job. My first collage was no help, my second really did help me through. It was a hard slog but worth the effort. Hope you get a job

Thanks Gary I've just been signed up to an agency so hopefully I will have some look with them.

I'm in a similar boat - also 24 in Manchester actually - but no driving licence, which I'll need the work in order to afford. Hope it goes well for you and I'll probably be registering with JTL this week.

I just looked into JTL and it does look good lots of places in my area so I'm sure there will be some in yours.. Unfortunately they only allow up to 25 year olds to apply. (I'm 29) Because they won't get government funding for college, even though I am about to finish my 3rd year! It sucks.. Hope u guys have more luck

Think I will check them out. Just with no college fee's as passed the courses I thought it may have been easier. Still the search continues haha.. I'm in Guildford if any1 know a company looking for an apprentice

A few of us tried at our local college and the cut off age is 24, I have found the entry on the site, however given the current climate they may well up the age limit..
JTL training - electrical, plumbing and engineering Advanced Apprenticeships.

The website doesn't let me even register because of my age. The only way I possibly could is to phone them! May try and ask, worth a go.
